Chad Ford: Colangelo was torn between Bargnani and Gay on draft night

unite them, meaning Bargs is staying....

if indeed the rumours are true of GAY for Ed Davis + Jose C somewhere why in the world would the raps do this. BC save his job? Davis has been a revelation and will never demand the 17 mill that GAY makes.

1. I think the "rumors" are more than rumors at this point. The two sides have been talking and have basically a rough framework for a deal dependent on them finding another team to take on Calderon. 2. The Raptors have been stuck in neutral for a while, they aren't landing a better play than Gay in free agency and while you're right Davis has been good, the Grizzlies aren't just giving Gay away for free. Grizzlies fans will argue that Memphis isn't getting enough. 3. Finally Bryan Colangelo has loved Gay since his college days. He was seriously torn between Gay and Bargnani on draft night. I think he feels like if he unites them, the Raptors instantly get better.

I remember during the off-season there were several people suggesting a Jose, Davis/Amir and Ross for Gay and most were all over that now people don't want to do a Gay for Jose/Davis deal, I'm one of them but it show's how easily fan sway there opinion.

One of the things that has changed is that DeMar has improved his game and Gay seems to have hit his peak.

Still very on the fence with all of this... I think Gay does help our team its not hard to deny but how much is very debatable... I don't like losing Davis but just how much more does he help us and how much will we have to pay him after this rookie deal is up...

In the end I support the deal because I think Gay, is better now than DeMar will be in the future... I support DeMar fully but he can't dribble and once teams force on him he disappears (15 PPG in January).... I also think that there's a great chance JVal will be able to show a lot of the skills that Davis shows now in the near future...

If this trade does happen I think it won't be long before Bargs and DeMar will need to find a new hom, as well

Wow, because BC liked both Bargnani and Gay it makes sense that they'll be good together?? That is the most twisted logic I've ever heard.

BC is just trying to get everyone from the 2006 **** draft. His next move will be to get Tyrus Thomas on board to fill in the space left by the departure of Ed Davis, followed by the signing of Brandon Roy, and then a trade for Aldrige. With that amount of PF's I think we will finally be in a good position to potentially compete in the future.

Sports are a very "what have you done for me lately?" kind of industry.
